The sun gradually rose from the east into the sky. The kingfisher on the grandma's porch chirped. The tea leaves that had just been brewed were floating in the air and had a natural charm to them.

Hong Chang pulled up the curtain as she entered the room, calling her grandmother to stand up. It was already the end of April, but her grandmother was still using the thick felt curtain of winter.

I thought that although my grandmother was timid, it might not be a good thing to just keep her warm. I urged her to redecorate the house before Dragon Boat Festival and change the curtains.

Hong Chang called out twice, causing her grandmother to awaken. Seems like she had slept soundly before.

Grandmother stood up. Mother and Hong Chang, one of them helped Grandmother put on her clothes, the other helped Grandmother put on her shoes. A bunch of young maidservants were carrying toiletries, surrounded by people.

Before long, my grandmother and my mother were sitting on the kang, one on each side, and I was sitting next to my grandmother.

The maidservants served us three of Grandmother's common red dates and medlar tea, and Grandmother took a sip of it before her expression relaxed a little.

"Why are you here so early today?" Hong Chang brought in three Sweets, Grandmother took one and placed it under her feet. Mother hugged the other and I placed the other one into Grandmother's embrace. Hong Chang smiled at me and took an empty tray and left.

"Master is not home in the afternoon, so your wife should come over earlier to have a chat with you." His mother smiled and called out for Lan Zhi. A maid answered and came in respectfully. She then handed over a long, flat wooden box to her mother with a smile before leaving.

I thought my mother's delicate little box contained some rare jewellery, but when I opened it, it was a jewelry book.

"My wife thinks that your birthday is coming up. When the time comes, she will have to invite people to join in the liveliness. Your jewelry is old as well, it's time to put on a new front."

The last time I went to visit, I bought some new clothes and jewelry. Grandmother also bought at least five or six sets of clothes with me, but she didn't bring any of them.

His mother wanted to use the money to coax his grandmother, who happily accepted the book, smiling as she teased her mother, "What, can't I pick a few more sets?"

"Why not? I'm afraid you don't like me!" Mother laughed so hard that she didn't even blink.

I went to my grandmother's place and looked at the album with her. The pictures on it were all of a dignified and gorgeous style, suitable for an elderly woman like my grandmother to wear.

Grandmother came out with glasses from a nearby box and picked them out with me. My mother sat on one side, giving advice from time to time.

His grandmother put away her glasses and smiled as she handed the book back to her mother. Her mother also put away the pen and paper that she had used for the record and tucked the small piece of paper into her sleeve.

The mother got up and said her goodbyes, "I don't know what's going on with the aunt, but my wife should go over and have a look as well. I'll go back to Mother's for dinner later."

I was secretly delighted that the opportunity had come!

"Aunt's appetite isn't very good today, so you had to call me over in the morning to talk for a while before you felt better."

Grandmother was a smart person, how could I not understand her? She used a rebuking expression to look at me.

I only said that my aunt spoke for a while before she relaxed, but didn't say anything about what she was going to say. The meaning behind his words was that his concubine was not feeling well, not because her body was uncomfortable, but because her heart was unhappy. Since talking can ease things, it makes people wonder what I'm talking about.

As expected, my mother tightly knitted her brows. She gripped the handkerchief in her hand and recovered her usual expression.

I should really like to thank my grandmother for not letting an ordinary servant woman in her house in. If that mother Feng was here, she would have been able to tell that I purposely said those words to entrap my mother.

It was obvious that my mother's departing figure wasn't as graceful and graceful as before. I secretly heaved a sigh of relief in my heart. With my mother watching me, there shouldn't be any more troubles at Lady Chen's side.

"Why did you say that to your mother?" My grandmother reached for the empty teacup in front of me and poured me a full cup.

I reached out my hand to take it. I didn't want to shake it, so I spilled a few drops on top of my hand. I cried out "aiyo" and endured the pain as I replied to my grandmother's words.

"With mother watching, Aunt Chen probably won't dare to look for me again."

"Kid, why are you so careless!" Grandmother took the teacup from my hand and used the handkerchief to wipe away the burns. She didn't want to talk about Aunt Chen anymore and wanted to call the maidservant in to apply the ointment.

I slightly removed my hand from under my grandmother's hand and held it up to her with a smile. "You see, it's a little red, so what's the use of applying any medicine?"

Grandmother let go of my hand and smiled. "It's faster to apply the medicine."

I quickly withdrew my hand and pretended to stay far away from Grandmother. I frowned and said to Grandmother in a distressed manner, "I don't want to apply medicine! I've heard that applying the medicine will leave behind scars. That's so ugly! "

After grandmother heard what I said, she chuckled and tapped my nose. "Little girl, you really know a lot!"

In my previous life, when I was cooking, I didn't get scalded on my arms. After using that scalding paste, although it was quick, it left a big scar on my face. From then on, I never dared to wear a robe.

I giggled as I reached my hand into the dendrobium on Grandmother's windowsill and dipped my finger in the cold water. When I took out my finger to take a closer look, there wasn't even a red burn mark left.

In a little while, my mother came back from Aunt Chen's room, looking a little angry. Grandmother and I turned a blind eye to her.

After dinner, as was my custom, I would talk to my grandmother before returning to my room. My mother said that she was old and that some of her jewelry was gone, and she wanted to give it to me so I could go into her room and pick it out.

It seems that my mother did not get the content of my conversation with Aunt Chen from Aunt Chen, so she came to my side to ask questions.

I smiled in agreement, said goodbye to my grandmother, and followed my mother to her home.

In the inner room, my mother scares off the servants and pulls me to sit on the kang beside her.

I was a little flattered that I had always sat on the stool under my mother's head, and it made me a little shy to suddenly be so close to her.

"What did that bitch ask you to say?" Mother held my hand tightly and stared at me eagerly.

I took a deep breath. I didn't expect my mother to call her Auntie Chen like this. If I knew that it was my plan to make Hong Lu my concubine, would my mother use a knife to stab me?

"I didn't say anything." I touched my sleeve. Today, I was wearing a shirt with no embroidery on it, which made me feel very uncomfortable.

It seemed that he couldn't tell his mother about the Reincarnation Pill. If he could tell his mother directly, his mother might not be unwilling to give it to Aunt Chen.

After a while, I came up with an idea. How could I have forgotten about this matter!

Actually, it's not a big deal for Aunt to ask me to go." I lowered my eyes to hide the smile on my face. " The aunt somehow heard that her mother was going to raise the unborn child herself, and that she was going to put her name in her mother's name. She was terrified, so she called her daughter and asked me to advise her. Her daughter privately felt that it was her mother's grace that her sister-in-law could write it in her mother's name, but Aunt Chen refused to do so. She really didn't understand, so her daughter acted on her own initiative to advise her. Fortunately, Aunt was a sensible woman. She understood her mother's intentions when she heard her daughter's words, and she was very grateful. "Aunt Chen originally had a weak character, so how could she suddenly ask her daughter to discuss such a matter? Her daughter was also very confused, so she asked her aunt indirectly. Aunt Chen faltered for a long time before saying it was Mama Chen's idea.

What I said was half true and half true, but my mother didn't suspect him. There was a look of trust on my face, and I felt a little more at ease.

"That ungrateful old thing, once it was transferred to her daughter's side, it became rampant! "Don't think about who their family is relying on!" His mother was so angry that the veins on her neck bulged.

I took the glass teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for my mother. His father traveled far and wide, often bringing back some rare things. As long as he had his grandmother's share, he would also have his mother's.

"Why don't you get Mama Chen out of the aunt's room?" I handed my mother the teacup.

My mother took the cup of tea but didn't drink it. She put it down heavily on the kang table.

"I do want to! "But that old thing was sent to Aunt Chen by your grandmother!" His mother thought back to the time his grandmother had personally ordered his mother to be sent to Aunt Chen's room. He couldn't help but feel discouraged.

"Why don't I tell Grandmother!" I smiled. After all, Aunt was a life form in her stomach. It was just a matter of a few words, so it didn't matter if she ran away.

My mother turned to look at me with a mixture of suspicion and suspicion. "You've been a favorite of your grandmother's lately."

This was a positive sentence.

Mother suspects that I am a matter of time, not because of one thing and two things. I don't regret protecting this child, all I can do is to delay the time as much as possible and accumulate more power.

In such a situation, the more ingenious the defense, the easier it would be to expose the truth.

I bowed my head and wrung my hands on the handkerchief, as if I were afraid to speak, as I had been in my previous life.

My mother used to scold me like that, often, until she forgot what it was that had made her scold me.

Today was very different.

When my mother saw my cowardice, she frowned and looked at me, lost in thought.

Why is that?

I couldn't help but be alarmed!

I ruthlessly pinched the arm that I had hidden in my sleeve until it reached the place where I was scalded. It was so painful that I sucked in a breath of cold air. My eyes immediately reddened as tears rolled down my face.

Based on my thoughts, my mother should be more at ease seeing me cry over such a small matter. After all, she was just giving it away to be a concubine. What she wanted was this kind of gentleness to bully.

Mother frowned even more. Could it be that I didn't cry enough?

Knowing this, I pinched the wound with all my might. Tears dripped down my skirt like beads on a jade plate.

To my surprise, when my mother didn't scold me, she comforted me softly instead, "I'm not scolding you. I am very pleased that your grandmother likes you. "

What was going on?

I have always believed that there is no need to be solicitous, adulterous or thief! Following the principle that words cannot be wasted, I sat silently by the side and continued to shed tears.

When my mother saw that I was still sitting there unmoved and crying, she took me into her arms and said in a completely maternal tone, "Good child, it's a good thing for you to serve your grandmother all day. When we go out in the future, you'll definitely have a good name!"

Go out? What good name does a concubine need?

Since ancient times, it had always been the selection of a woman, the selection of a woman, and the selection of a concubine.

"I'm not going out, I want to stay by my grandmother and mother's side for the rest of my life!" I leaned on my mother's shoulder and started to cry, but no tears flowed from my eyes again.

The mother smiled and caressed my hair. "Silly child, when a girl grows up and stays at home, I will definitely find a good future for you!"

My heart trembled. Could it be?
